“Our mission is to encourage, support, develop and promote voluntary activity amongst all sections of the community of Royston and the surrounds, whilst aspiring to provide a quality service and ensure effective partnerships with a wide range of voluntary sector organisations.”

Let us help you make a difference in your local community!

Here are some of the comments our volunteers made about our services last year.

"I think it’s a brilliant set up and very worthwhile – not only does the community benefit but also the volunteer does as it provides a sense of purpose".

"I found contact with the centre informative, friendly and helpful and easily accessible".

"Very professional and good at paying attention to the details in my requests and in catering [….] to my situation and preferences".

"The volunteer Centre was very useful in explaining and helping me decide which volunteer placement would suit me best".

Can you volunteer without affecting your benefits?     YES!!!
